State $500, eco of the $4,000, goo which
was due her by the road at the period
OF their consolidation, and which under
his manipulation had dwindled down
TO the sum of 100000. And now he
thinks he is entitled to great credit for
not taking that.
WHAT HE DID FOR THE LABoRNG NAN.
Another feature of his operations in
railroading shows the remarkable inte-
rest he feels in behalf of the laboring
man. 10 was fully established that
S4C9, 2J2 was justly due the employees
on this road for labor which they
had performed upon it. Malone took
steps to make these laborers believe
| that the purchasers Of the road were
not obligated to pay these claims and
formulated plan to have all of these
claims bought up at fifty cents in the
dollar in cash and fifty cents in com
mon stock to an amount not exceeding
100000, so that with $4,000 he
would have secured claims of these Ia
borers for their hard earnings TO the
amount Of $3.50, 252 That is the way
he showed his great love to tho laboring
man.
MAHoNE's DUPLICITY.
While speaking of General Malone
| desire to call attention TO the du-
phcity he practiced in connection with
the convention held on July ., 1880
Malone then advocated an electoral
ticket pledged to the support Of Han
cock and English and the adoption of
the following resolution "And be-
lieviDg that tho object hitherto declared
and the interest of ali the people of
Virginia are to be best subserved by the
election of Hancock and English TO the
presidency and vice-presidency of the
United States: therefore further declare
that the electoral ticket nominated by
this convention is instructed in behalf
of those candidates, and that they are
cordially commended TO the earnest
support Of every member OF this organ
cation in Virginia" Thus he led those
who were operating with him to be-
lleve that he was acting in good faith
for the purpose of securing the cleo
ton Of the Democratic candidates
for President and Vice-President and
in Virginia. Since that time MIR. Coop
er, chairman OF the Republican party
of Pennsylvania, published book the
title Of which is "American Politics"
On page 263 OF that book he says that
in the presidential campaign of 1880
the Reaijusters supported General
Hancock, but on separate electoral
ticket, while the Republicans supported
Garfield on al electoral ticket of their
own selection. This was pursuant to
an understanding, and ut the time
thought TO be advisable by Malone,
who, If bis electors won, would go for
Hancock or not, rs circumstances might
suggest, while il he failed the Repub-
leans might profit by the separation.
PAYS HIS REsTRCTs TO JOHN WISE.
Thus it will be seen that while Cen
eial Malone was processing to be at
work in the interest of She Democratic
party, he had, months prior to that
time, secretly contracted with Repub-
ican leaders Of the North to take the
very steps he was then taking for the
express purpose of defeating the Dem
Ocratic party and turning the State
over to the Republicans. Ia carrying
out his fraudulent purposes he selected
the electors on the 7th of-July ticket,
and to make his deception more eilec-
tive every man selected by him then
posed before the people of Virginia as
d Democrat. The elector for the
Third congressional district, embracing
the city of Richmond, was John 5.
Wise. He averred that he was born n
Democrat, reMed a Democrat, and in
tended to die q Democrat.
wIsE's LETTER.
In letter written by him Wise in
1881 he said: 1.-The great bulk of the
Republican party hitherto has been ne
groes. A large portion of the white
Republican vote in Virginia hitherto
has been made up of men who are not
Republicans from principal, but as a
matter of trade and barter-men with
out character and inhuence-apOstates
for the price of their apostacy men
in the community that would starve
without Office, who became Republ-
cans for Office, and whose tenure of Of
fee not only added no strength to their
party, but brought it to disrepute and
turned respectable men from it. Why,
sir, the white Republican III Virginia
does not want any accessions to the
ranks Of his party. Triumph is tue
last thought of his mind the place is
his whole object; martyrdom soothed
by reward is the whole philosophy OF
his politics. "
John Wise, acting upon this theory,
furnished the best illustration of 1t.
Though Boosting of his Democracy,
so soon as Malone informed him that
he could receive in exchange for his
Democracy a good, fat oflice-the dis
trict attorneyshlp of the Eastern dis
trict of the Federal Court of Virginia
he Wise recognized it as flair trade
and barter" and cried, LEAD on,
master; | will follow thee " and he
has ever since been blatant Republl-
can.
Mr. Massey, continuing, said 81
wish you to bear in mind tho fact that
If you 90 not wish restoration OF the
power Of men who have thus deceived
and betrayed you vote for the Demo
cratic candidate. Every vote given for
Republican candidate is a vote given
fer the restoration of Malone rule III
Virginia, and the subordination of the
superior to the inferior race, and pub
lie virtue and intelligence to vice and
ignorance.
GENERAL W. II, +. LEE
followed Mr.. Massey in telling speech,
and was most cordially received.
A fine impression was made upon the
audience by both speakers, and the
Democratic party of Louisa is tho
roughly aroused and ready to do its
duty. Mr.. Holiday, the Democratic
nominee, was in the last House, and is
making an active canvass.
